Welcome to Wikipedia from

WikiProject Anatomy

! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding
reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book
to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!

We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. be bold
!

We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See
this essay
for more details.

Feel free to contact us

What's new

Our new barnstar

new
T tubule, Ureter and Vagina, with Anatomical terms of location
also awaiting review

A made-up eponymous term is used in our article that eventually makes it in to university anatomy teaching slides and a journal article

We reach a project goal of 150 B-class articles in July 2020, increasing by about 50% over five years, and are one good article away from our goal of 40 GAs, doubling over the last five years

In the
infoboxes, and there is ongoing discussion about updating TE as well

A beautiful new barnstar is released ({{subst:The Anatomist Barnstar}})

portals
are deleted (vale Human body and Cranial nerve portals)

Some things left out from past newsletters - A large amount of redirects are created to help link plural structures, and Cerebellum ([3]) and Hippocampus ([4]) are published in Wikiversity.

Newsletter topic: anatomy and featured articles

I have been asked to write up something introducing the
Featured article (FA) process
to anatomy editors, but I took a more general approach to explaining why one might want to contribute featured content and the benefits to the editor and to Wikipedia. I also tried to address some misconceptions about the FA process, and give you a guide that is somewhat specific to health content should you decide to take the dive.
A vital purpose of Featured articles is to serve as examples for new and aspiring Wikipedia editors. FAs are often uniquely comprehensive for the Internet. They showcase some of our best articles, and can enhance Wikipedia's reputation if they are maintained to
standard
—but in an "anyone can edit" environment, they can easily fall out of standard if not maintained. Benefits to the writer include developing collaborative partnerships and learning new skills, while improving your writing and seeing it exposed to a broader audience—all that Wikipedia is about!
Looking more specifically at WP Anatomy's featured content, the Featured media is impressive and seems to be an Anatomy Project strength. The
WikiProject Medicine and the Anatomy WikiProject. Hippocampus is another dated promotion
that is almost 50% larger than when promoted, having taken on a bit of uncited text and new text that might benefit from a tune-up.
Whether tuning up an older FA at
Featured article candidates, taking the plunge can be rewarding, and I hope the advice in my essay
is helpful.
You can read the essay "Achieving excellence through featured content" here.
SandyGeorgia has been a regular FA reviewer at FAC and FAR since 2006, and has participated in thousands of nominations

Thanks for your contribution to
